Ohhhhh no, it’s not what you think!
I love using negative space. It’s kind of like a ‘die cut’ way to emboss.
It just adds a whole other dimension to a project.
Take a look at Robyn’s cards:

When Kerri came out with this fabulous card kit, I was just amazed! Pure genius! I love the idea of the little place to rip the cardstock to open up the envelope! So darling and what a fun thing for the person to open up!!
Loooove how she added the sentiment right into the envelope!
Brilliant idea!
Aaaaand, she used my most favoritist (yeah, it’s a word) envelope!
The pull-tab adds so much fun to your ensemble.
And adding a stamped sentiment to the pull tab? Love it!
Here’s what Robyn has to say:
I wanted to use the envelopes as a part of my card – so I typed some words on the side of the envelope so that when it cut out and it was folded, it would show on the front. I layered cardstock behind each word to help them stand out. Such a fun way to add a saying to a card through an envelope! I glued each envelope on top of a standard card size piece of cardstock and put the note inside. Love the way this looks! So fun! Thanks Kerri for the great inspiration!
Brilliant Robyn Love this fabulous idea…These cards are Adorable…xo
Can I combine the two and say “I love them so much”? Fun colors and I’m positively loving the negative space!!! TFS this fab idea!!!
Great examples. I may have been in a coma-like state, because I didn’t notice the tear away strip originally. Glad that’s rectified. ;)
never noticed the zipper pull in that kit before! I have to buy it now.
any chance of adding a 2012/2013 to that kit to replace the 2010 and 2011 icons?
I just saw this on Robyn’s blog! it’s A++dorable!
